Rampo Noir (2005)

This is the most bizarre movie I've watched thus far. This movie was definitely disturbing. All the short stories, each one of them were quite insane. There are 4 shorts in this movie: Mars Canal, Mirror Hell, Naked Blood aka Caterpillar, and Crawling Bugs. These shorts included (themes of torture, mirrors, obsession, love, bugs, and decomposing bodies). It was shot very well and it was artsy in many ways.

What really shocked me was the role of Narimiya Hiroki in this movie. His role in the short Mirror Hell was definitely eccentric. I wonder what he was thinking when he read the script and decided to take up the role. And he really did do a great job playing it.

This movie is based on novels by Edogawa Rampo. From my research on him, he has the most bizarre novels and most of them are banned in Japan. Most of the are quite graphic and horrific in nature which explains the contents of these shorts.

Overall, this movie definitely tests your sanity.

It has:
Mature content. Nudity. Disturbing images. Eccentric plot.
I don't recommend anyone under 18 to watch this movie.
